In Linux, this test works fine. I thought it was from the broadcast 
socket address was not set, but i've setted it with ioctl (yes... i know 
you don't like but...;)) and still gives me error sending in 
broadcast... but setsockopt doesn't return any error at all... I have my 
app working on linux like this :). i don't know if somethings missing in 
the NIC configuration...

thanks
